800 is the number of posts to I have entered into this journal of emotion hygiene (ref YLNT) that I started keeping on Tumblr and eventually moved over to one of my 2FatBlogs hosted sites when Tumblr had a lot of growing issues.

Reviewing what I’ve been posting to JohnnyLeCanuck.com over the years has become quite an amusing time capsules in memes, bad jokes, quotes, Pro-Canadianna pieces  and terrible filter heavy iPhoneography.

The Top 10 from the last 800 shows just how ecletctic my geekdom really is:

Halak Stop Sign
Octopi Wall Street
Pi vs Pie
XKCD: Physics Just Got Real
Keep Calm and Carey On
Angry Birds Physics
Angry Birds Meet Sesame Street
IE @ Work – First World Problems
AT-AT Walker Dog Costume

Here’s to 8oo more.

File this under moan rather than post, and I’m sure that this will eventually turn out to be full blown post over on 2FatDads but I have really been struggling to use the iPad for quick posts to the this blog. There are too many side steps in my workflow to make quick posts easy. As easy as the Press This WordPress bookmarklet is to use in the browser the iPad WP app still isn’t very conducive to short posts with rapid app switching.

Funny enough I do spend a remarkable amount of time writing the longer 2FatDads posts on the iPad. The reality is that along with a bluetooth keyboard, I find it really good at getting me to focus on get my thoughts down and flaking out the body. Of course I will use the browser or MarsEdit to add in links, media content and proof the posts.

Kind of proves and old theory that we used a lot in radio and media, that it takes a lot more work to cut a 30 sec promo than to produce a 4 hour show.
